Procurement Executive/Consultant (start-up consultancy, indirect focus, 2-5 years' experience)

Job description

Our client is a high-growth scale-up procurement consultancy working with a range of clients in various industries (both public and private sectors). They help their clients achieve two critical goals simultaneously: significant financial savings and ambitious sustainability targets. They are currently scaling their procurement, data, and sustainability practices and are looking for a self-starter to grow with them in this exciting phase.

The Role

This is not a traditional corporate role. You will be a hands-on lead, delivering Procurement and Sustainability “as-a-Service" directly for clients. You will work within a fun, creative, and supportive environment alongside data scientists, leading procurement experts, and researchers to transform client spend into strategic value.

Key Responsibilities

• Client Delivery & Indirects: Lead end-to-end indirect procurement projects for clients, focusing on categories such as IT, Marketing, HR, Corporate Services, and Facilities.
• Data & Analytics: Confidently process and interpret complex spend data. You will collaborate with the data science team to turn raw numbers into actionable insights and "green" alternatives for clients.
• Business Development: Assist with business development activities, identifying opportunities to scale our services and demonstrate the value proposition to new prospects.
• Sustainability Integration: Embed ESG into sourcing, to deliver wider positive impact.
• Stakeholder Management: Work closely with senior leaders and client executives, providing clear, personable, and customer-focused communication.

Who You Are

• A Self-Starter: You thrive in a fast-paced environment and are capable of managing the challenges and ambiguity that come with a scale-up.
• Analytical & Personable: You have a "data-first" mindset but possess the emotional intelligence to build strong, trust-based relationships with clients and suppliers.
• Outcome-Driven: You take full responsibility for your work and have a track record of getting things done in challenging environments.
• Flexible & Ambitious: You are looking for a role where you can grow rapidly, leading activities and initiatives as the company continues to scale. You will work across a variety of sectors.
• Values-Aligned: As our foundation, you believe in doing business with integrity - we do what we say, and care about the wider common good.

Skills & Experience

This would suit someone with between 2 & 5 years' procurement work experience.

Essential:

• Expertise in Indirect Procurement categories.
• Advanced analytical skills; comfortable working with large datasets and tech-driven procurement tools.
• Ability to work flexibly, balancing remote work with regular London and on-site presence.

Desirable:

• Experience working for a consultancy organisation
• Experience of supporting business development activity

Why Join?

• Work directly with an award-winning CEO/CPO in a positive culture.
• Be part of a practice that is genuinely changing how companies think about profit and the planet.
• Enjoy a supportive, flexible, and creative environment designed for high-performers.
